Mate recipes?

So, Mate isn’t the tastiest stuff, but it’s damn good for a cold.
I’ve been sick for the past five days, and such I’ve been drinking a lot of the yerba… and so I thought it would be a good idea to experiment a little. I tried a packet of hot chocolate – you can check my profile for the tasting note, if you want.
In any case, I’ve been thinking a bit about what else you could mix with mate – both to make it tastier, and to make it better for curing a cold.
Anyone have any recipes/ideas?
